Founder

Alex Valls Dip Hyp CS

I am Alex Valls, a Solution Focused Personal Development therapist and hypnotherapist at Freeminded Personal Development. My journey to becoming a therapist has been shaped by a deep curiosity about human connections and personal growth. While my initial passion was film direction—leading me to study at the prestigious London Film School—I found myself increasingly drawn to understanding people on a deeper level. My background includes directing several short films and music videos, where storytelling and exploring human emotions were central themes.

This curiosity about human relationships inspired me to explore counselling skills, which I studied at WPF in London Bridge. From there, I expanded my expertise by training in hypnotherapy through Chrysalis Courses. This combination of counselling and hypnotherapy allows me to offer a holistic approach to personal development and mental well-being. To further enhance my toolkit, I completed Brain Working Recursive Therapy (BWRT) Level 1 with Terence Watts—a powerful, evidence-based method that supports rapid emotional and behavioural change.

More recently, I have deepened my knowledge and skills in Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and coaching by attending the Foundation Level course at BRIEF London in 2023. Currently, I am advancing my training through their Advanced Course to better serve my clients with the latest approaches in this effective and future-oriented therapy.

At Freeminded Personal Development, my commitment is to provide compassionate, personalised support that helps you overcome challenges and reach your goals. Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Hypnotherapy have been proven to assist many people with a wide range of issues—from stress and anxiety to self-esteem and personal growth. Together, we will work collaboratively to create practical, tailored strategies that empower you to move forward with confidence.

My educational background reflects a blend of creative arts and therapeutic disciplines. I hold a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Film, Cinema, and Video Studies from the London Film School, completed in 2007. Alongside my academic achievements, I have hands-on experience as a camera operator and director of short films, which has enriched my understanding of storytelling and human emotion. In 2019, I earned a Certificate in Hypnotherapy and Counselling Skills from Chrysalis Courses, which laid the foundation for my work in therapy.

Beyond my professional work, I have been dedicated to community service as a volunteer with Age UK since May 2014. Working in social services has given me valuable insights into the importance of compassion, patience, and genuine care—qualities I bring to every client interaction. Helping people has always been a priority in my life, and I am passionate about supporting you on your journey towards greater well-being and personal development.

If you are ready to take positive steps towards change or simply want to explore what therapy can offer, I invite you to reach out. At Freeminded Therapy, I am here to guide you with warmth, professionalism, and a personalised approach that respects your unique story and goals.
